It’s been less than a month<\/a> since I installed SPAM Karma 2<\/a>. It didn’t take me long to see the benefits. Just four days later I wrote this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Today, looking through the plugin statistics, I thought – “Why don’t I post them?”. So, here they are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Total Spam Caught: 1002 (average karma: -102.87)<\/li>\n
  2. Total Comments Approved: 141 (average karma: 14.74)<\/li>\n
  3. Total Comments Moderated: 13<\/li>\n
  4. Current Version: 2.2 final r2<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So, in less than a month SPAM Karma 2<\/a> saved me more than a thousand contacts with SPAM. At the same time, it stood out of the way almost 150 times when legitimate comments were posted. And only 13 times it didn’t know what to do and left comments for me to moderate. Pretty good numbers, I have to say.<\/p>\n

    False positives? None of the legitimate comments were marked as SPAM. About 20 SPAM comments got through and I had to marked deal with them manually. The shiny 2.2 update came out a couple of days ago to deal with the new wave of “smart” spambots.<\/p>\n

    As for me, I am very very very satisfied with the results. I just hope that this plugin will continue to work the way it does now. I’m willing to install upgrades.<\/p>\n

    Thank you all who participated in this work!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
